I found that the "96" flashes are normal, and after a while it stops flashing and the game begins, at least that was MY experience, Marie. I just finished the game, and I found it very entertaining, to say the least. ENJOY!Sandy

I'm sorry that you are having problems getting the game started, Marie. I'm sure that Raymond (the owner/developer) will get this straightened out for you. I had to contact him at: support@edigames.com, because I had some questions about gameplay, the interface, the inventory system, etc. I got immediate e-mail replies, and he explained everything in detail, and that was more than once. After I got the "hang of it", I played it to the end.By the way, his walkthrough was awesome, but without it I never could have gotten through the game. Please keep us posted about your "game start" problem, and I hope it will be straightened out very soon.Sandy
